Staff received four (4) submissions on September 24, 2020. The vendors were evaluated on their technical knowledge, experience, and proposed approach to the city’s projects. Based on the evaluation of the submissions, city staff is recommending the highest scored vendor, Cleary Zimmermann Engineers for award.
Cleary Zimmermann Engineers will provide construction oversight, inspections for city staff to verify and ensure all building systems, materials, equipment, and workmanship comply with the contract requirements. The services will be billed at the not to exceed hourly rates defined by the agreement. The estimated scopes include fees of $17,593 for Station 2 and $13,516 for Station 3, and $9,953 for Westside Library Branch. As new projects are added to the agreement, such as Fire Station 7 and Sports Complex, they will be brought before City Council if the master agreement exceeds $70,000.
